Making Patterns
This week in mathematics the Ducklings are looking at patterns. They will be busy describing patterns, continuing patterns, spotting mistakes within patterns and creating their own.
We have also noticed that there are patterns around us in the world everywhere.
The children are realising…

Following on from our learning in maths, the Ducklings were keen to build towers and use comparative vocabulary to compare their height.
They used language such as tallest, shortest, taller than and shorter than.

Drawing with shapes
This week we have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes, their different names and some of their properties. The Ducklings enjoyed using the 2D shapes to draw around and create their own pictures. It was great for mark making and pencil control skills too!

2D shapes everywhere!
In Maths this week we are thinking all about 2D shapes. We will be finding shapes, taking about corners and sides, matching 2D shapes to the faces of 3D shapes and making lots of houses and people using shapes.
